The
Book of 1 Samuel

Chapter
22

And every one that
was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was
discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them:
and there were with him about four hundred men.

Then Saul
said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the
son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all
captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;

That all of you have conspired against me, and there
is none that showeth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse,
and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or showeth unto me that my son
hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou
and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast
inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at
this day?

Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me:
let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my
father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

And the king said unto the footmen
that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their
hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show
it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall
upon the priests of the LORD.
